People’s Choice Award Winners Announced

The winners for the annual People’s Choice Awards have been revealed and the results are generally pretty reasonable, even if some of the nominees are quite depressing.

The awards, which have been running since 1975 are some of the only major ones decided by the general public and as a result the nominees and winners can be… questionable. We are the same general public that made Fifty Shades of Grey one of the highest grossing films of 2015, so I’m prone to doubt our abilities as appraisers of quality. Coincidentally, the film received a nomination for Best Dramatic Movie, proving my point in a nutshell.

In general though, the winners this year are a pretty respectable bunch and while there are the odd headscratchers (I can’t quite wrap my mind around Taken 3 being anybody’s favourite anything, let alone favourite thriller film of 2015), it’s a better selection then usual.

The full list of winners and nominees can be found below. Winners are bolded.
